Neville Goddard on Genesis 24:14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 24 in context

Scripture Focus

14And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.

Genesis 24:14

Biblical Context

Eliezer seeks a sign to know who is chosen for Isaac, and the sign is that the maiden who draws water and offers more is the appointed one. The scene points to hospitality and kindness as inner indicators of divine guidance and alignment with a higher purpose.

Neville's Inner Vision

Genesis 24:14, viewed through the Neville lens, reveals that the 'damsel' and the act of giving water symbolize a state of consciousness open to grace. The water and the camels are not external favors but movements of feeling in the mind; the 'pitcher' is your desire to drink from the stream of awareness, and the response 'Drink' is your imagination drinking in abundance. When Eliezer asks for a sign that the maiden is the one appointed for Isaac, he is really inviting inner alignment: the sign is the realization that your consciousness has been prepared for its own higher purpose. The line about kindness to the master becomes kindness to your I AM, your higher self. The appointment signifies that your inner state has been chosen to fulfill its covenant with your true self. Thus, the event is not about a girl, but about your willingness to inhabit a state of faith, obedience, and receptivity until the outer world reflects that inner covenant.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are already the appointed one by your higher self; imagine a hospitable figure inviting you to drink and bestowing nourishment. Feel the assurance that this sign is your inner covenant proving itself in your life.
